INTENDED USE OF THE DEEP FRYER
■ This deep fryer is intended exclusively f or deep fr ying food using suitable oil or
liquid shortening fat. It is not intended for solid shortening fats, heating water or
other liquids or for cooking food directly in the frying pot without the use of a frying
medium.
BEFORE FIRST USE
■ Before first use, wash the lid A1 , frying basket A3 with handle A4 and frying pot
A7 in a hot detergent solution. Then rinse all these parts with clean water and dry
them thoroughly with a fine wiping cloth. The frying pot can also be washed in a
dishwasher .
■ Also clean out the inner and outer parts of the deep fryer unit unit using a lightly
dampened wiping cloth and then wipe it dry. Never submerge the deep fryer unit
in water or any other liquid!
OPERA TION
PREP ARING THE DEEP FR YER FOR FRYING
■ Place the deep fryer on a suitable even surface that is out of children's reach. Always
position the handles of the deep fryer so that nobody can brush against them and
knock or tilt the deep fryer over, or spill its hot con tents.
■ If you wish to place the deep fryer on a cooktop underneath a range hood, ensure
that the cooktop is turned off.
■ T ake out the frying basket and inser t the handle A4 into the frying basket by
squeezing the basket wires B1 towards each other with y our fingers and insert the
bent ends into the holes in the bracket B2 on the basket. Then apply gentle pressure
to secure the wires in the bracket. An audible click will be hear d.
■ Insert a dr y and empty frying pot A7 into the deep fryer unit. Inser t the heating
module A12 with the heating element A6 .
■ Pour the frying medium (deep frying oil, or a liquid or dissolved shortening fat) into
the frying pot. Only use oils and shortening fats that are explicitly marked as "non-
frothing" and suitable for deep frying. This information is provided on the packaging
or label.
Warning:
Never pour more frying medium into the frying pot than up to the
MAX mark and never less than up to the MIN mark.
Never pour any liquid, for e xample water, in to the frying pot.
Never combine various types of shortening fats or oils together .
They could overflow out of the deep fryer.
■ Clean the top edge of the frying pot and any other parts, which have been soiled
while the frying pot was being filled.
FOOD PREP ARA TION
■ As a rule, cut food into equal-siz ed pieces to ensure that it cooks evenly .
■ If the food intended for deep frying is damp, then dry it first. Always season food
with spices only after frying and do not apply the spices above the frying pot or
during the course of frying.
■ If you wish to deep fry coated/battered food, ensur e that it is evenly coated/battered
and that any excess br eadcrumbs are tapped off because loose breadcrumbs spoil
the quality of the frying medium.
■ Certain types of food, such as doughnuts, can be deep fried directly in the frying pot
containing the frying medium without using the frying basket.
■ Cut large pieces of food , e.g. chickens, into smaller pieces . This will prev ent
subsequent scalding when removing the food from the basket .
■ Do not place too many food pieces on top of each other , they could stick together .
■ Remove any exc ess ice from frozen foods since it could cause the oil t o boil over .
■ Do not fill the basket more than halfway , otherwise the temperature of the frying
medium will fall and the frying result will not be optimal.
DEEP FRY ING
■ Connect the power cord plug to a pow er socket.
■ Set the temperature control knob C4 to the requir ed temperature. The automatic
power indicator C1 will be lit. The temperature is reached when the indica tor turns
off and takes approximately 10 minutes .
■ Slowly insert the basket with the food into the frying pot. Then put on the lid, and
deep frying can begin. Steam may escape through the lid during the deep frying
process. This is normal and does not constitute a fault.
■ The timer dial C2 can be used to set the frying time. Indicator light C3 will be lit.
The timer will start counting down the time and after the set time has elapsed, the
appliance will beep. Indicator light C3 will turn off .
Note:
Information about the appropriate temperature is found on the food label
or in the table in this user's manual.
Attention:
When deep frying food that contains a large amount of water or
frozen foods , lower the basket into the frying medium slowly. This
will prevent it from ov er flowing.
■ While frying, we recommend to stir the food oc casionally to prevent it from sticking
together . Y ou can monitor the pr ogress of deep frying through the viewing window
in the lid.
Note:
The thermostat will automatically turn on and off to maintain the correct
temperature of the frying medium. Based on this, the power indicator
light will intermittently turn on and off .
Warning:
The deep fryer and its lid are very hot during the deep frying
process. In the event that it is necessary to handle the deep fryer
during its operation, always use oven mitts and only handle it
using the handles A15 .
■ When you have finished deep frying, turn the control knob to the off position.
Remove the lid so that you do not come into c ontact with hot steam, pull the basket
above the level of the frying medium and then hang it on the fixed bracket A5 in the
drip position. Allow excess oil to drip off the food .
Warning:
Never touch the frying basket when you have finished deep
frying, it is very hot! Lift the fr ying basket out of the deep fryer
only by the basket handle.
■ Allow the deep fryer to cool down without the lid to preven t water from condensing.
■ After the oil drips off, put the deep fried food int o a suitable container. We
recommend to line the container with a suitable kitchen paper towel .
Recommended time and temperature table
■ Generally, it is r ecommended to use lower temperatures for brittle f oods (vegetables,
fish) and higher temperatures for fr ozen foods (French fries , chicken, etc.).
Note:
The frying times and temperatures are only of informative character .
